You'll Always Have My Love

Wanda Jackson released a series of Rockabilly-styled singles and albums during the late 1950s, including the top 40 pop hit "Let's Have a Party". In 1961, Jackson returned to her country music roots and had two top ten hits that year. Throughout the remainder of the 1960s, she became more identified with the country music audience through her various releases.[2] In the mid 1960s, Jackson renamed her touring band The Party Timers. The group was occasionally featured on Jackson's recordings issued through the Capitol label.[3] You'll Always Have My Love was the first Capitol studio album that included the band and they were given equal credit on the LP.[4]

The album included background harmonies from The Party Timers. In addition, Jackson continued performing lead vocals. According to the LP liner notes, its songs were a collection of love songs that "Wanda once again proves more than wonderfully equal to the challenge of singing".[4] A total of 12 tracks were included on the album. Two of the album's recordings were composed by Jan Paxton, which were "Who Do You Go To" and "Half That's Mine". Additionally, Vic McAlpin contributed two tracks to the album, along with Yvonne DeVaney. "My Heart Gets Al the Breaks" was composed by singer and songwriter Justin Tubb.[1] You'll Always Have My Love was recorded at the Columbia Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee in sessions held between 1966 and 1967. The album was produced by Ken Nelson.[4]

You'll Always Have My Love was released in September 1967 on Capitol Records and was Jackson's eleventh studio release in America. The disc was originally issued as a vinyl LP, containing six songs on either side of the record.[4] In later decades, the album was re-released to digital and streaming sites, including Apple Music.[5] The album spent eight weeks on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in the United States, peaking at number 25 in November 1967.[6] It was Jackson's fourth album to reach a peak position on the chart.[7] Two singles were included on the project, beginning with "Both Sides of the Line" in March 1967.[8] It spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, peaking at number 21 in June 1967.[9] The title track was released as the second single in July 1967.[10] The song spent two weeks on the Billboard country songs chart before peaking at number 64 in August 1967.[11]
